A while ago when I looked at how XP theme files worked I also took a
look at this theme. I don't think any package should ship this theme the same for other XP themes. The problem is that all XP theme 'creators' are in fact editors which use original XP themes as templates. The basic clearlooks theme I made a while ago is clean though. We really need to be able to create our own themes but as I showed it is quite a bit of work but it isn't that hard.
Have you written a HOWTO on this, perhaps suitable for the wiki? Would be most useful for the future!

I submitted my work to wine-devel a couple of months ago (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.devel/64542/). I attached a sample theme file with just coloring (XP style coloring; this is slightly different from the old coloring method in the registry as some names change). The file clearly shows how to create a simple theme from scratch. Adding bitmaps is more involved though but not that hard.
